This isn't such a good idea when the tracker has literally thousands of 
torrents, though. I'd really like to see an extension that has at least 
semi-official support, and for which the fallback behaviour when not 
supported is all torrents, rather than a single one. If you request 
multiple hashes, it makes no sense for a client not supporting the 
feature to return only a single one of them. :/
